Moving from Calgary to Burnaby
The drive from Calgary to Burnaby covers approximately 970 kilometres via the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). Heading west from Calgary, the route passes through Banff National Park and over the Continental Divide before entering British Columbia. From there the truck continues through Glacier National Park over Rogers Pass, the most technically demanding section of the route, before descending through Revelstoke and Kamloops, then following the Fraser Canyon into Metro Vancouver and Burnaby.
Calgary's position further south and west than Edmonton means this route is around 150 to 175 kilometres shorter than the Edmonton to Burnaby run. Transit time for a moving truck is typically one to two days, with the Rogers Pass and Coquihalla sections requiring careful planning around season and conditions.
Because this move crosses from Alberta into British Columbia, it is classified as interprovincial. Federal Transport Canada carrier licensing is required. Asr Moving holds that licence and carries full cargo insurance on every job, so your belongings are covered from pickup in Calgary to final delivery in Burnaby.

Reviews from Calgary to Burnaby Moves
"Moved our 3-bedroom from the NW to Burnaby Heights. Full packing service. The crew was efficient, nothing was damaged, and the final invoice matched the quote to the dollar."
"Did a February move and was worried about Rogers Pass. The team had already looked into conditions and adjusted the departure time. Everything arrived on schedule, no issues whatsoever."
"My Burnaby condo strata had strict elevator booking rules. Asr coordinated around the booking window perfectly and had everything inside in one shot. Very professional crew."
"The new place wasn't ready until six days after we left Calgary. Asr stored everything without any hassle and delivered the morning we moved in. Fair storage rate and zero pressure."
"They moved a grand piano from our Beltline apartment that another company had refused to touch. It arrived in Burnaby without a scratch. Worth every penny for the peace of mind."
